From http://community.livejournal.com/crafty_faggot/5418.html - geometrician: "She might be hard-pressed to find a magazine about being queer in a rural area. However, if what she is interested in is rural living, she may find that most magazines about alternative living are queer-friendly. For instance, people who are living in intentional communities tend to be open-minded and accepting; there is a magazine called Communities that is for people interested in communal living.
If, on the other hand, she is interested in queer living, she might check her closest LGBT center to see what they have on the shelves. Where we live, there is a center that subscribes to just about everything queer-oriented. It is a good way to see what is available and what she might like to subscribe to."

From http://community.livejournal.com/paperzines/37876.html - mandypoet: "There is a lesbian magazine called Maize which is about living in rural/farming communities--it's been around for many years."

From http://community.livejournal.com/ecitypropaganda/3253.html - blooskize: "I always think that if you can't find something you want to read/submit to, you should create it yourself. Most of my writer friends write the books they've always wanted to read, but couldn't find. There's obviously a market there, so go for it. Let me know if I can be of any help."

From http://community.livejournal.com/transradicals/7706.html - ryotboi: first comment: "don't know of any, but interesting thought... since i do live in a rural area, it'd be very tempting to start one. i'd be a bit clueless as to how to go about spreading the word about it, so lemme know a good place to start." second comment: "oh, and for some reason i can't get automatic alerts from lj on my email, so feel free to email me at ryotboi at yahoo if you'd like to pass along different collectives online or IRL who would be interested in reading about such a zine. thanks"
